"Doesn't that pointed dunce hat you have on mean you are supposed to be standing in a corner somewhere?"
Trump is upset that the media is treating him worse than any president in history.
True. If he loses, it will be the independents and population groups which sat on their hands last time. Now they've seen what the experiment looks like, I doubt that happens again...
I have most of them blocked, but I forgot to block one. And it’s just really the wrong time to really be saying crap like that around me. I just have too many nurses in my family volunteering to treat Covid patients to really allow the “its just the flu†crowd to get away with their ignorance.
I get looking for bright spots, but calling everyone idiots for taking this seriously and calling people traitors for buying Made in China is just....
One thing that sets me off is these "tough guys" protesting while wagging their guns around and screaming in cops' faces.
Everybody worrying about Biden is weak on this or that...
in my opinion it's going to be a "do you want four more years of what we've just been through?" type election. A referendum on Trumpism.
The more the general public sees, the more they are repulsed. I'm expecting a blue wave that will also deliver the Senate.
I think one party in complete and total control is a disaster waiting to happen.
Hey folks, sorry for my absence, but given I'm on the "second line" in this thing, I'm sure you'll all understand. Weirdly, my hours have been cut in half, but I'm more exhausted (plus gaining weight unfortunately - up 20 lbs in about six weeks) in large part because I'm helping my high functioning Asperger's child finish his Bachelor's degree (and dealing with his mother, my ex, who finally decided to put someone else's interests above her own temporarily).
The only time in my life I've been more exhausted for longer was when I was deployed to Gitmo during out Haiti invasion in the fall of 1994, and even then I only noticed it when I stopped moving. Every single day lately I've had to make "that call" when a result comes back in; I mean the only "good" thing about it is that it's not really "unexpected." I finally had only the third person I know about de-friend me because Trump and - in all honesty - if you're still with this stooge to the point you cannot tolerate my telling you the truth then I have to question what our friendship was based on in the first place.
I don't blame the administration for the pandemic, I think that's cheap and cheesy even though I expect it in politics; I DO blame the for both the failure to prepare for it and besides - Cheeto Jeezus himself set the parameters when HE tweeted out how Biden is to blame for 17,000 dead people during H1N1, the last "actual" crisis I lived through in this thing. And I also blame the guy for basically wasting two hours a day because he can't do rallies.
We opened up here in Texas last Friday, but you'd be hard-pressed to know it. This was the point a lot of folks were making - you can tell folks, "Hey, we're open," but you can't make them go out.
I've mostly stayed away because my fuse is incredibly short right now (as more than one co-worker has noted), I'm lubricating it so I can sleep with Scotch (not more than a small glass), and while on the payroll sheet it's showing fewer hours, I don't feel like it.
Note: I hope the above doesn't sound like whining so much as it is coping. I feel like this must be what addicted smokers who desperately want to quit feel like - telling yourself this is killing you and yet doing it anyway. On the attempted plus side, I'm working on a writeup for both the 1989 and 1990 teams; I actually began the 1989 one last summer and things got in the way.
Just remember - Bill Curry was so lousy a football coach that he lucked into a 10-win season only because his starting RB (Murry Hill) and QB (Jeff Dunn) got hurt and replaced by better players. I'm also now convinced, despite loving that year at the time, that the 1989 team is one of the most overrated teams in the history of UA football (go look over that record and opposition with a magnifying glass and tell me you don't agree).
I'm hoping right now (life speaking) that we're at the end of the first quarter of the 1991 Fiesta Bowl and 1992 is just around the corner.
I hope.

unfortunately, we are undergoing a disaster right now, and one of the few ways to mitigate that will be to remove the gop from any sort of power.
Trump is upset that the media is treating him worse than any president in history.
Yeah - because he's ACTING worse than any president in history........
I do so as a matter of course, but I honestly don't even care anymore. I'm reminded of what Ed Rollins, who was Reagan's campaign manager in 1984 said, "If George Bush and Dan Quayle were where the Republican Party was going, it wasn't a party I would have joined in the first place."
I'm not "that" bad; but if Trump is the answer then the question must have been pretty damn stupid.
Trump is so terrible, you just cannot see it. Having one party in complete and total control is a bad idea. Each one needs somebody to step up and stop the other from doing the worst things. It has never been good for the country when one party has been in charge of everything. You want to see the economy really tank? Have the democrats completely in charge of everything. Not because of things they will do but because of things they might do. Corporations will overreact to it and rocket sled us into a depression (recession). I know you thing everything will be great once the dems get complete control but you are completely wrong.
I don't think Biden is "weak" in any way; but he is going to have to tell the loud mouths in the AOC/Sanders choir to stuff on it some of their pet issues. If he continues to bow and bend, he will be responsible for how he's seen.
As far as Trump, he actually IS what he says he grabs. I've never seen a "big tough man" whine louder than this infantile lab specimen; just add some tears and he's Scarlett O'Hara.
Homer Smith saved that team from Curry's incompetence
If they can get universal healthcare passed, I am in favor - then let the GOP take back the house or senate.
Yeah, I'm noticing that.
In fact, as much as I liked him, Gary Hollingsworth is not even really that good of a QB. You just have to observe him with a critical eye rather than an emotional fan's eye. He was the SEC Offensive Player of the Year in 1989, but anyone actually look at his stat line?
205 of 339 (60.5%, which was pretty good for the era)
2,379 yards (he played ten full games so he averaged about 230 yards per game passing)
14 TD
16 INT
But FIVE of those 14 TDs were in the Ole Miss game and 3 were in the Tennessee game, so more than half of his touchdowns were in two games. Granted, he played well in those two games, but it's a 12-game season back then. And hell, one of those TDs he got credit for 75 yards passing for a two-foot pitch where Siran Stacy did the work.
So as I look closer at that year (which I know has nothing to do with this thread) - it's unbelievable. The brass that thought Curry was lucky to win the SEC that year is absolutely correct.
you are 100% wrong. i am very much opposed to having one party with all control. but we are already careening towards the bad things you are worried about. our economy has already tanked an is going to get much worse.
we are in extraordinary times where one of the two parties refuses to govern. they cannot be allowed to continue holding power.
Honestly I would say one party in today’s American politics in charge would be the worst thing I heard, but that was until I heard an idea on here to totally gut the judicial system and install only progressive or far left leaning judges.
I don't disagree with you in terms of abstract theory.
I also figure that they will blow any "mandate" (or whatever) hiding behind, "Well since he did this, that makes it okay," which is hardly productive of wanting to turn things around.
By the same token, the GOP needs the same kind of lesson the Democrats got in 1980. While I realize he lost the next go around, credit Walter Mondale. When he went out campaigning for the 1984 nomination, he even made a point of: "We never said you were wrong (for voting them out); we asked you where we went wrong and how to fix it." And while he did run a disastrous campaign, the GOP is in need of a harsh lesson themselves.
I've been saying for years that what would lead to the very socialism the GOP deplores would be:
a) electing a guy like Trump, who has no ideological core or beliefs at all other than "in himself"
b) let something that requires government intervention - competent intervention - happen
I point this out to the Trumpkin village and they're all set to blame other people for not following Der Fuhrer. If it happens, it will be because we weren't wise enough to listen to this greedy fool.
I'm watching people smart enough to know that if you have a "$15 minimum wage" that those companies will find ways to not pay it - these same people insist to me that Trump has China by the proverbial stones because tariffs. (apparently, American companies are smart enough to not pay a few dollars an hour more but China is too dumb to figure out how to bypass millions).
Because.....Trump.....
